Did everyone make it through the day safely? ㅠㅠ Just when I thought the weather was getting warmer, we're hit with fine dust and yellow dust; it feels like my skin has absolutely no chance to breathe. I have combination skin to begin with, but since passing my mid-30s, the inner dryness gets so severe during seasonal changes that looking in the mirror has been a real stressful experience. Even when I slather on expensive creams, they just sit on the surface... You can all relate, right? Haha.
Recently, I’ve settled on my own secret tip: a slightly modified version of the '7-skin method' called the '3-skin + one drop of oil' combination! After cleansing, I lightly skip the wipe-off toner and instead apply a water-based toner in three layers with my palms to help it absorb. Then, for the final step, I mix just one drop of face oil into my usual essence and press it onto my skin; it definitely feels like my skin barrier is becoming firmer.
I think the key to skincare in your 30s is ensuring that even just one product is properly absorbed, rather than simply increasing the number of cosmetics you use. Sisters, don't just look for harsh, functional products; try building a solid foundation by replenishing moisture starting from the basics! Let's get through this change of seasons safely together and maintain glowing skin! Please leave a comment if you have any questions~ :)
